It was far from an ideal start for the Blair Oaks Falcons. Blair Oaks lost a fumble on its first play from scrimmage, then the Seaman Vikings scored a touchdown on their first play on offense. “It was reminiscent of Lutheran North,” Blair Oaks coach Ted LePage said of the start to the game.

The Blair Oaks Falcons will be taking a rare midseason break from Tri-County Conference play. And for just the third time in the program’s 48 seasons, Blair Oaks will play an out-of-state program.
